I _think_ you're asking how to move a read-only volume. The answer
is you don't. You create a new one at the new location and then
nuke the old one.
- vos addsite to define a new r/o volume location
- vos release to clone the r/w to all r/o's
- vos remove to remote the old r/o
Does this answer your question or were you asking something else and
I just didn't get it?
